I'm really worried about my brother. His oxygen levels are around 90, and he's got a cough in his lungs, but all his tests for COVID, typhoid, and malaria came back negative. He's been admitted to the hospital and is on oxygen, but his levels aren't improving. What should we consider doing next?

View allI've been dealing with this cough since December 31st. It started with a sore throat and then turned into a cough and later came the colds. The cold has mellowed out now, but this persistent cough is bothering me. It feels like there are tiny hairs or dust particles stuck in my throat, and it's rough and dry, but not much phlegm. I've been taking Mucobron Forte capsules and they help a bit, but the cough's not gone yet and it's been 3 days. Should I keep taking them or maybe switch to Fluimucil? What do you think?
Continue those medicines for a week and rest your throat until you recover,sip hot water and dosalt water gargling for a better result.

I'm a bit concerned because I've noticed strings of blood clots in my sputum a few times. It first happened twice back in September 2019, then once in October 2019, and now it's happened 45 times recently. I've attached a photo for reference. Can you share your thoughts on this?
That could be capillary bleed due to dryness,no need to worry have plenty of water and consume balanced diet,if its bothering you much visit ENT doctor of appropriate management
